@sacha1yr0: #liguriaitaly #italytravel #comogli #liguria #Camogli is a picturesque fishing town on the Italian coast of the Ligurian Sea, situated on the Riviera di Levante, approximately 25 kilometers east of Genoa. Often referred to as the "city of a thousand white sailing ships," it is considered a quieter, more authentic alternative to the crowded Cinque Terre and glamorous Portofino. Key features of the town Colorful facades: Camogli is famous for its unusually tall buildings—reaching up to 7 or 8 stories—lined up along the waterfront. They are painted in vibrant pastel shades (yellow, orange, pink) so that fishermen at sea could recognize their homes from a distance. Many decorative elements—such as windows, shutters, and bas-reliefs—are actually skillfully painted onto the walls in the *trompe-l'œil* style. Beach and waterfront: A spacious pebble beach with crystal-clear water stretches along the town, accompanied by a charming promenade perfect for strolling and watching the sunset. What to see and do Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta (Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta): A stunning 19th-century church built on a rocky promontory right by the water. Its interior is richly adorned with gold leaf and marble. Dragonara Castle (Castello della Dragonara): A medieval defensive fortress located near the basilica, which once protected the coast from pirate raids. Picturesque harbor: A small port where traditional fishing boats are still moored. It is a hub of authentic seaside life, featuring excellent seafood restaurants. San Fruttuoso Abbey: A secluded 10th-century monastery tucked away in a quiet cove within the Portofino Natural Park. It can be reached either on foot via mountain trails or by tourist boat from the harbor of Camogli. The famous statue... is located in the waters of this cove at a depth of 15 meters.
